Tiago Ferreira Barbosa updated AXIS2-4739:
------------------------------------------
Environment: Tested on Linux Ubuntu & Debian. Other distributions may be
vulnerable. (was: Tested on Linux Ubuntu, Debian)
Description:
We have found a Session Fixation Vulnerability in administrative interface of
Apache Axis2. When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows to fixate
a session Cookie in the browser of the victim, this way it's possible to
perform session hijacking attacks.
The vulnerability was found in the administrative interface of Axis2. By
default, it is accessible at the path /axis2/axis2-admin. To exploit this flaw,
we used a Cross Site Script in existing Axis2
(http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/12721/).
Code Snippet:
http://example:8080/axis2/axis2-admin/engagingglobally?submit=%2bEngage
2b&modules=<script>document.cookie="JSESSIONID=C958373831119190D2DC7838BA177980.tomcat1;
Path=/axis2";document.location="http://example:8080/axis2/axis2-admin/";</script>
The above code when run on the victim's browser, fixates the session cookie
sent by the attacker to it.
To protect against session fixation, the HTTP session must be invalidated and
recreated on login, giving the user a new session id.
